A Cajole username is your personal handle on the platform — like @yourname on other social sites. It’s your shareable identity: the URL cajole.com/@yourname points to your public profile, and people can use it to find or challenge you.
Claiming a username is optional. You can use Cajole without one — your account just won’t have a public profile URL until you grab a handle.
How to claim one
1. Open your account settings.
2. On the Profile tab, you’ll see the “Claim your username” card if you don’t have one yet.
3. Type the handle you want. We’ll show you live whether it’s available.
4. Click Claim.
The rules
• 3 to 32 characters.
• Letters, digits, underscores, hyphens. Must start with a letter.
• Lowercase only (the system normalizes for you, so typing “AdamSmith” still claims “adamsmith”).
• Some words are reserved — system terms like “admin,” “support,” “cajole,” brand names, and a profanity list. We’ll tell you if the one you typed is reserved.
• Once claimed, the username is yours unless you rename it or delete your account.
What happens once you claim it?
Your public profile becomes reachable at cajole.com/@yourusername. Anyone can visit it (subject to your privacy settings — see Article 4).
Cajole reserves the right to reclaim, reassign, or release any username at any time, at our discretion, to maintain the architecture and integrity of the platform. We’ll let you know if this ever happens to you.
